Description: | The exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of Barry Flanagan's first solo show, held at Rowan Gallery, London, in 1966; 'Animal, Vegetable, Mineral' was the title American writer and curator Gene Baro gave to his review of that show. Waddington Custot Galleries presented Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, curated by Dr Jo Melvin, focusing on the early career of the renowned late British sculptor. A survey of works from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the exhibition includes a selection of Flanagan's key early explorations in material and form instrumental in shaping his later career, some having not been exhibited for over 30 years. The artist's use of unconventional materials and his central position in early British Conceptual Art is further informed by displays of contemporary material from the Estate archive, including examples of the artist's concrete poetry, working drawings, logbooks and photographs. |
